The Move
"Thump"
Valkyrie spun around and swung her fist into the trolls face. It reared back and screeched as it felt the impact break the bones in his nose whilst rendering him unconscious.
From behind her she heard clapping.
"Magnificent" Skulduggery clapped " and you said you needed magic to knock something out."
Valkyrie just gave Skulduggery a withering look and strolled out of the ware house slumping into the Bentley, leaving Skulduggery to cuff and drag out the troll.
"Whatever" she mumbled "lets hurry up I need to pack my bags for college."
"Uh, yes. The college for sorcerers."
What else, Valkyrie, thought to herself.
For her parents benefit all they knew was that she was going to a normal boarding college but in realities she was staying with Skulduggery and attending a college for sorcerers.
Valkyrie was anxious to start attending the school as her reputation for being a world hero, famous detective, darquesse, and being Skulduggery's friend usually inspired feelings of jealousy and hate.
Forcing her head off way ward thoughts and back to the present, Valkyrie hopped out of the car and said to Skulduggery, only half joking.
"Make sure you don't come bounding into the class rooms asking-no demanding for my help saving the world."
After a long pause and many exasperated looks from Valkyrie he conceded "Fine, fine. I'll meet you back here at 8 O'clock."
With that Valkyrie ran home while Skulduggery murmured lovingly to his car.
